On Saturday, the Astros earned a valuable victory against the Orioles, beating them 5-4 in 12 innings. Urías, with a force out, drove in the winning run off Carlos Correa's spikes. In the seventh inning, Altuve hit his other key home run, which at first appeared to be a triple, but after review, it was ruled an HR. The Astros now move a game and a half clear of the Mariners for the Eastern Division lead, in a head-to-head battle between Houston and Seattle that promises to go the distance.

The series continues on Sunday at Daikin Park, and Cristian Javier is expected to be the Astros' pitcher. Javier returned to pitch for the Astros after undergoing Tommy John surgery last season. In his first start of 2025, he recovered from a home run hit by Bergman of the Red Sox, then pitched five solid innings, allowing just two earned runs.

For the O's, Dena Kremer will be pitching the domino game after an excellent start against the Mariners, pitching eight innings and striking out six.

Our Baltimore Orioles vs Houston Astros Prediction

Cristian Javier then made a successful comeback from injury against the Red Sox, which he hopes to continue on Sunday against the Orioles. Baltimore won Game 1 of this series in a near-perfect game outing by Brandon Young, limiting the Astros to one hit. But on Saturday, it was the Orioles who struck out 14 times in total, with their leadoff hitter, Henderson, going 0-for-4 and Rutschman following him up, going 0-for-5. Our prediction for Orioles vs Astros is: Under 8.5 runs.
